Balm Balm Fragrance Free Lip Bal

Carmex Lip Balm

Advantages: heals sore lips
Disadvantages: not available in Czech rep. so I have to import

having applied it. I didn't really love it at first, but I guess I can say I have got used to it because I found out it really helped my lips to be softer and crackless. Ingredients There are three main substances used to "cook" carmex: Menthol as an anti-itch agent, camphor to relieve pain and phenol as an anaesthetic. Additionally lanolin, wax, coca butter, salicyl acid and a pertolatum-based fragrance were added. Carma Labs, the producer, claim that Carmex is not tested on animals but only family members and consists of natural ingredients. They also say it's gluten-free, so much for the allergy advice. (I actually don't see a reason why a lipbalm should contain gluten anyway.) Conclusion I'm really happy I have found Carmex and it has become my favourite lipbalm as it cures all the problems other balms couldn ...

Review of Carmex Lip Balm

Chapped no more thanks to Balm Balm

Advantages: 100% organic ingredients; chapped lips are a thing of the past!
Disadvantages: pricey at £2.99; small tub

suitable for all skin types and apparently is richly infused with rose geranium essential oil for its myriad skin care uses. The pretty pink packaging which first caught my eye goes on to say that among the ingredients are: shea butter, sunflower oil and jojoba oil. Well I can't ask for more than that! I must confess that on opening the lid, there is no particular scent, other than a slight smell of the plastic container which was a slight disapointment because I'd also seen the fragrance free variety on display in Boots at the same time. I had been expecting a slight smell of rose geranium but can't say that I've ever noticed it. ~ The Packaging ~ Open the dinky little box and you'll find the balm (or is that balm balm?) comes in a little circular white container which is 7 ml. The only writing is on the screw top lid which has ...

Review of Balm Balm Rose Geranium Lip Bal

Excellent lip balm in a neat little pot

Advantages: Works well, convenient to carry
Disadvantages: None for me

reviews about this product here on Ciao and had been meaning to try it for some time. The little pot containing 7.5g of lip balm cost £2.43 and when I went through the checkout the assistant commented on how good the product was too! The little white pot has a yellow screw top lid and is nice and sturdy so I would feel happy having this in the bottom of my handbag without having to worry whether it had come open and plastered the contents of my bag with sticky lip balm. There is a bit of information on the top of the lid to just tell you to apply the balm freely to chapped or dry lips and to keep it out of the reach of children. I unscrewed the lid and the texture of the lip balm inside is quite firm and it is golden in colour. To be honest it looks like beeswax furniture polish! It has a light, pleasant, slightly chemical fragrance ...
